Would this shirt (in white) flatter a size sixteen with back fat? If not, can you reccomend a similiar style blouse in the same price range? Can you do a whole post on shirts?
Your best bet for a button-down shirt is to find a retailer that does shirts based on bra-size -- like Rebecca and Drew, who sell at Neiman Marcus -- or opt for a stretchy fabric.
To be honest, I don't think that white shirts are very flattering at all, on anyone!
Click over to ShopStyle, where I'll post a selection of white tops in my StyleBook that are flattering on a variety of sizes!
Of course, you can always check out the "Tops" chapter in My Book for immediate tips.
